Factors To Consider Before Servicing Your Car

Regular servicing of vehicles is as essential as filling fuel in it
to enjoy smooth driving from it. But there are lots of motorists who
consider maintenance of their car as a tedious task and do not pay
attention towards it and realize its relevance when they are not able to
drive their car for reaching their preferred destination at the time
which they had decided to reach on.
This sometimes sounds
surprising and unusual that how a person, especially the driver of a car
can forget or ignore the service of his vehicle. This is mainly because
of the myth prevailing among lots of owners who consider car servicing
stagnated mainly with checking the level of engine oil, regular
cleaning, filling fuel and checking the pressure of tyres.
Therefore
before proceeding ahead, always keep in mind that car servicing is not
restricted only to above mentioned checklist, but involves the checkup
of different parameters such as a check up of engine, clutch &
gearbox, braking system, etc. which are necessary to be performed once
you have driven specified kilometers by your car, whether it is during
the year or after that.
So, now after going through the importance
of car servicing it becomes imperative for us to look after the factors
that should be kept in mind before visiting any garage:

Types of Services: It is one of the important factors
to check before visiting any garage that what type of services they
offer, because there are some centres that expertise in offering
services only to mid-sized cars. Whereas there are lots of stations who
offer services of all types of cars by the technicians that are
accredited by the manufacturer to conduct the service of their vehicles.
Let us assume that you own BMW then you can get your BMW serviced from
authorized BMW service centre without any second thoughts as they are
registered by the manufacturer and have access of database to update the
records of car service, tuning, repairing etc.

Infrastructure of the Service Station: Most of the
people believe that all car service centres are same, but this is not
true to the huge extent because authorized service centres are equipped
with all latest computerised equipments that are used nowadays, and have
separate areas for inspection, servicing, cleaning, washing of vehicles
and also the waiting area where their clients can wait and have a look
towards the servicing of their car, if they wish to. Moreover, licensed
garage also displays the certificate of its accreditation from the
manufacturer permitting him to look after the maintenance of car
manufactured by them.

Charges: Finally, last but not the least you should get
the estimate of your vehicle before giving it for servicing so that at
the time of payment. For example, when you get your car serviced from
the authorized garage they will charge fix price for every task varying
from changing of engine oil or replacing the damaged part of your car
with genuine part as quoted by manufacturer.
